A mega-money move to Liverpool earlier in the transfer window, involved in two preseason games without making any good impression, the Uruguayan exhibited a real deal of a striker today in a 5-0 huge win.
In Liverpool’s third preseason encounter against RB Leipzig, Jurgen Klopp and his comrades put up an astonishing performance placing five goals behind Domenico Tedesco’s men, a goal in the first half and four goals in the second half without conceding.
Klopp started with his strongest eleven with notable names like Mohammed Salah, Luiz Diaz, Virgil Dijk, Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, Andrew Robertson, and Ibrahima Konate -all subbed later in the game.
Andrew Robertson made a way for Darwin Nunez prior to the second half, the 23-year-old showed a real deal of a potent striker and came up with a haul [4-goals] after teammate Mohamad Salah’s earlier strike in the 8th minute.
Nunez’s goals include a penalty kick, a fast pace finish following chaos in RB Leipzig’s half, a tap-in finish off Harvey Elliott’s short cross pass and a curled powerful shot outside the box -as his fourth goal.
An electrifying performance to warm up for the upcoming season.
